By Michael Gold Zxamples of Workers’ Correspondence Hood River, Oregon The big orchardists have made an agreement Not to gather 25 per cent of the Booc pears Now thousands of tons rot on the trees And it makes me mad to see it.

How can @ man do this for an extra dollar a day Sell his mother’s honor or betray his class? ‘We know them all, we know them well, the damn stoolpigeons Here are some names in Fabricating Shop 6: Burgen, Knowles, Schlimmer, Wilson and O’Brien. ‘The speed-up killed a pipefitter named Otto Ernst. Joe Black of the C. B. gang told them he was heat-sick But the pushers drove him till he died. Flames of a new strike are roaring Our gangs sweat and twist at the tapping bars A hole breaks loose in the open hearth and steel pours red Red as freedom into the ladle of the Steel and Metal Workers’ Union.

But lions roar and a bear growls his pain And we who are men will stand up like men Hating them as we know they hate us Can the lice mine coal without us? Da we need such parasites? . Jersey City, N. J. Coming home late last Saturday night I noticed a result of one of Roosevelt’s acts. A large crowd was gathered around a crazy man He was cursing, jumping, screaming, then had a fit It developed his name was Mack, a gassed war veteran Recently kicked out of a veterans’ home in Maryland » American hero without a home or country “Just world war wreckage, another poor worker I could hear voices in the crowd grumble So this is the new Roosevelt economy _ “A man in overalls has no mercy shown shj's the bankers who run the government.

Two young men sprawl on chairs, Sunday morn- ing leisure. | “Hello, We've brought a paper here, | jthe Daily Worker. Don’t know} whether you've ever read it, but.. “Oh, sure, We know that paper: Tead it pretty often. Let's have a copy.” We detect their brogue, Irish? | No, Scotch. We talk a few minutes. New faces, these, recently moved into the house.’ They had attended a few meetings, they said, but no affairs. Did they dance? Sure! We promise’ to invite them to our affairs (and-to our next unit party for the Daily Worker!). \ “Nice dog, he is.” “It’s a she. Here, Lady!” (Watch this.) Mac takes one end of a dog’s leash, holds it as if to turn rope. The dog jumps clear over it, turns, jumps back. By this time it is frisky; jumn3 on all of us. “Lady come here!” A cracker is high in the air. “Beg.” Up |go the front paws. “Speak.” The dog barks. Mac looks towards us, tri- umphant, We applaud the perfor- mance and take our leave. “Blessed”—By N. R. A. In the next apartment we find | Anthony sweeping the kitchen floor. | His wife is at church. Anthony drives a truck for one of the large meat- packers, Formerly, when I can- vassed during the evening, he was in- variably asleep, exhausted after a 14- hour day. Now he works only e'ai “That N. R. A. is a fine thing.” Evi- dently lured. Yes, we say, it has brought a little change for some who worked 12, 14, 16 hours. But did he know that many employers carried the Blue Eagle who still worked their men the same hours, and were never- theless protected by the government? | Did “he know that bosses were firing |slightly higher-paid employes, taking on others at les wages—still keeping | within the N, R. A. minimum? And what about the high price of food jand clothing workers couldn’t meet |with present earnings? He looked | thoughtful, nodded. : “Voting for LaGuardia?” I venture. “Well, Anthony, see what the Com- munists have to sey about Fusion. Something, maybe, you don’t know about.” “All right.” He buys a “Worker” takes the Italian paper for his wife. “I'm with You But...” A young Italian-American ® girl opens the door. Yes, she had read the “Daily” we left before, but “We're Democrats here.” She was a worker, wasn’t she? Was there anything in the “Daily” which wasn’t true? Just what were her objections? “Oh, your paper tells the truth, all right, I know it. I was on strike myself (yes, needle trades) and 1 went to your place—Irving Plaza— they sold the paper there—But really, I can’t do anything. We're Democrats, all of us, and you know how it is. We all vote Democratic.” She sounded half-apologetic, as if jhoping we'd understand. Pressure, | probably, from the Tammany machine in return for a job or other favor. Well, then, would she make a dona- tion to the Party which prints the “Daily,” to help cover election cam- paign expenses? Unhesitatingly she | reaches for her purse, es ROUGH large door holes we see apartment after apartment vacant. Evicted, some of them; others had to move to smaller, even cheaper houses to cope with ever-shrinking wags. This morning, these empty seemed cheerful, flooded with the warming sunlight; but these same| apartments during winter were, dreary, bleak, with not enough fire to/ suck up the piercing wind from the} cracks. | Top floor at last.

Nick knows all about it. Don’t have to agitate him on the Communist Party. We see an accordion on the couch. Would he like to come to our Daily Worker party and play for us? Sure! If he can get a new accordion, This one’s too oid, no good. John Promises to give him the address of a Russian shop, (Nick takes his sock, His child-itke admiration for the speedy darn amuses us.) A neighbor comes in, @ powerful, husky Polish woman. “Give her the ‘Worker’; she reads English.” Ske buys a copy. No, doesn't vote—not a citizen. On a floor below we find a soft- spoken little woman busy at the kit- chen sink. Her three children, the oldest about 18, gather near the door as we speak, A 1905’er—Retired The, woman shakes her head at the} Spread-out “Worker” against my chest. “What's the use of all that? Nothing will ever come of it.” We start explaining the value of organi- zation. She interrupts. “I know. When I was a young girl in Russia, in 1905, I was like you, I belonged to the Party. . . . we had ‘Iskra’ then and I was in Kiev when the soldiers shot workers down in the streets. But today, I feel . . . you know, the Socialists, those who sit in the high chairs, make good money, they don’t care for the people... .” ‘We agree with her about the So- cialist leaders. But this was the Communist Party we were talking about—"It’s all the same, they're all alike, Socialists, Communists . When I was in Russia, I made many sacrifices——” We remind her of the new Russia. No progress there? No, she insists the people were starving, the Commu- nists made them suffer untold hard- ships. She knows, she read all about it. What does she read? “The Jewish Forward.” Confused, baffled, her mind a mass of contradictions, she was still poi- soned by the yellow Socialist paper. I nudge John. We must’t spend too much time with her, for she was living in the past. PRIM young woman opens the door. “You left that paper here before.” “Would you like another copy?” “I should say not!” Her tartness expressed finality. “Er . . . may we know your ob- jections to the paper? Perhaps we can answer them.” “I don’t have to tell them to you!” ‘We close the door quietly, care- fully. A hard, poisoned nut to creck. Perhaps this winter she will be enlightened, when the church and the N. R. A. fail to bring her peace and bread, Rene Sah A grey-haired mother invites us into a kitchen crowded by a large round table in the center. “Com- munist?” This, scornfully, from one of the boys shaving at the kitchen sink. “No use trying to sell that paper around here. We're Democrats.” “What are the Democrats doing for the people of New York City?” “Good Enough for Me” “Why should I worry about the people? They're taking care of me, all right.” Self-assured, cocky. “Not unless you're in their racket— maybe they gave you a job?” No answer. We keep after him. Let him ask any tenant in this house whether Tammany’s giving them enough re- lief; whether the N. R. As giving a worker enough wages. His brother cuts in. “What they get is better than nothing.

You'll find: plenty of ‘nice’ girls. Might surprise you, too, to find Communists have no horns.” He grins, sheepish. “I know. A long time ago I belonged to the Harlem Progressive Club— mostly for the sports. I was the youngest there—a shrimp.” The Harlem. .. and he | talks like that?-Shame! Hadn't they given him anything to read at the time? No, (In the early days.of the Club, perhaps, work was weak.) He buys a “Daily,” puts the plat- form in his pocket. “So long!” Even the little Democratic politi- cian said good-bye. Cone caer. | | ‘THER families would like to read | the “Worker” but haven't the three cents. We give them the paper. When one tenant informs us his absent neighbor reads English or Italian, we leave the paver and elec- tion platform in the doorknob. One young worker tells us she gets the Paper in her shop. Pocket-books. Yes, it's an organized shop. One young husband wouldn't take the “Worker”. Never reads any papers, not interested; wouldn't even take a free copy. Quietly, his wife hands us three cents and takes the paper. Of those who read English, and could afford it, ten bought. the Daily Worker, one taking a weekly sub; five Italian papers were sold (the rest distributed); and some gave a few extra pennies, amounting to 27 cents.
